    Criminal Prosecution FAQs

    Where can I report a non-emergency crime?
    Call: 425-577-5656 (NORCOM) or Report a Crime | City of Bellevue (bellevuewa.gov)

    Why is my case heard in the King County District Court instead of a municipal court?
    The City of Bellevue does not have a municipal court. Under state law, a city may have its own municipal court or contract with another jurisdiction for court services. The City of Bellevue has elected to contract with the King County District Court for court services.

    Can I have a payment plan for my court fine?
    Yes, the court clerk can set up a payment plan. You will need to contact Bellevue District Court to make arrangements. They can be reached at:
    1309 114th Ave SE
    Suite 100
    Bellevue, WA 98004
    Phone: 206-205-9200
    Fax: 425-777-9157

    Can I have an infraction reduced?
    Prosecutors have the discretion to negotiate cases. Such negotiations may result in a reduction. The judge also may be willing to reduce the fine. However, there is no guarantee that a case will be reduced. It depends on the facts and circumstances.

    How do I contact the District Court?
    They can be reached at:
    1309 114th Ave SE
    Suite 100
    Bellevue, WA 98004
    Phone: 206-205-9200

    Can you provide me with advice on how to proceed with my case?
    No, the City Attorney’s Office is strictly prohibited from providing legal advice.

    What types of cases are handled in District Court?
    Only misdemeanor cases are handled by the District Court. All felonies and juvenile cases are handled by the King County Prosecutor’s Office.

    I have a warrant for my arrest issued out of District Court. What can I do?
    You will need to contact the court at 206-205-9200 to make arrangements to have your warrant quashed. You may have your warrant quashed at any district court location in King County.

    I received a subpoena to testify in District Court. What do I do?
